Thanks, Keith. As for the trees, I don't think they are Bristlecones, but I could be wrong. These are found right along the coast just above the ocean. I think they get much more moisture than the Bristlecones I know in the Sierra and Southern Utah.
I am intending to take a shot at a BW conversion. When I get it done, I'll post it up. -- Bruce Saturday, October 14, 2006, 1:30:30 AM, you wrote: k> Bruce Dayton wrote: >> This scene just caught my eye with the bright tree out in front and >> the darker, similar tree back in the shadows.
